HP Touchpad tablet discontinued, goes on sale for $99 and flies off shelves - The Washington Post
Keywords:
Tags:
Product obsolescence in a matter of weeks- the situation with the HP Touchpad. The Touchpad tablet is introduced at a retail price of $399 for 16GB and $499 for 32GB versions on July 1, 2011. The product is scrapped by CEO Apotheker after disappointing sales within weeks of introduction. It is now sold at a sale price of $99 in the last week of August 2011. This shows the astounding rate at which things change in the high tech product markets. Nokia, Nintendo, and now HP have seen their fortunes change quickly in 2011.

New tech product introduction and multiple demands- 2010-2013
08/23/2011
The technology has to work, the apps must be right, and there has to be good content, and the selling proposition right, for product introductions. Its rare that companies get the time to work out the problems with this afterwards. All this has to be there right from the start. It works or it doesn't and the product cycle can be unforgiving for failure to come up with a superior product. The example of the HP TouchPad which failed to take off and was scrapped.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
